After six days of occupation, Athens Law School is left with serious damages

The remaining 20 anarchists who were on a sit-in for the sixth consecutive day at the Athens Law School in downtown Athens, peacefully evacuated the premises yesterday after a no-arrest order was issued by the Alternate Minister of Public Order and Citizen Protection Giannis Panousis. The following day the University’s employees were surprise to realize that the damages amounted to hundreds of euros. Broken doors and windows, burned trash bins, tossed fire extinguishers, vandalized statues and a desecrated nearby church were some of the damages caused by the members of the anti-establishment movement.
